Hi everyone!  My name is Dora.  I am just 4 years old, weigh a solid 65 lbs of play and affection, and I very much need your help right away!

My owner, I call him my Dad, is in the United States Air Force and he was deployed.  I am temporarily staying with my aunt, his sister, and she has to move into a smaller place and cannot take me.  She works long hours and I am home alone.  My "grandparents" have cats and I am not fond of cats.  They would gladly keep me, if only I got along with cats!  Urggg.  How I wish I could!  I am fully housebroken and do not even need to be crated.  I am playful and LOVE people, including the little children.  I am even gentle with toddlers but my family wants to play it safe and suggests that I be adopted by adults, or by a family with children age 5 or older.  I would not hurt the small children but I might knock them down if I run and play in the yard.  I am very athletic, love to run, love to walk and am in excellent health. I need to be an only dog because some dogs I like and some I do not. I walk nicely on a leash and will not mind seeing dogs while we take our walk.  I am spayed, fully vaccinated, and have a gorgeous, shiny mink colored coat.  My family has taken good care of me but I have to find another home.  So sad.  My daddy is out of the country and so there is nowhere else for me to go!  How about to your home?  I love to snuggle, will greet you with kisses, and know my basic commands. How about a nice car ride, too?  Please apply to adopt me as a courtesy listing on the Rescue Ridge website at:  rescueridgeshelter@gmail.com  or find them on petfinder.com under Rescue Ridge, Spring Lake, New Jersey.  Or, please find out all you need to know by calling Amanda, my "aunt" at:  732-859-5805 or email her at:  alc3408@hotmail.com.  I need your help right away, please!  My time is running out since they have to bring me to a shelter if I am not adopted.  Many thanks!
